About the Thought Journal

Eliot Bernstein
I have met G-d in a near death experience, it has asked me to bring the children together to think about fixing the problems confronting them on so many levels.  It said that the power of all the people thinking together will possibly give them answers to protecting the earths resources and their very own children.  This is my attempt to fulfill my promise that I would try, your thoughts are welcome and count, please help us save the future before we run out of resources and have to tell our children to cover their heads from the ozone hole with money.  We must rebuild and protect our earth, it is your mother.  Help us turn back the destruction, if only to gain a moment.  So drop your religions and beliefs and come together as a united species that cares not only about each other but the whole delicate balance of life's resources, that without one element such as ozone, we all die. 
 
Let us begin to be a compassionate and caring creature that would define civilized and care about all the things your children need to grow like air, water, etc.   We all know we are out of control as a race and think we need far more than we do, we know that this consumption ratio with no accounting of the precious resources for life will lead us to a tragic end.  Do we not care that we may kill our children, do we not care to speak out anymore and blindly submit to what we know is wrong for life to continue?  Here is your chance to care and make change, here your thought may become what leads to a solution to help let all life continue.  Here at the thought journal we  are one mind, working together to solve problems that are piling so fast we would be overwhelmed to try and tackle it alone.
 
We are also concocting to create a brain from this and since the human head is way to small to challenge all the data in the world, we chose a computer to bring to life.  We must seed this brain with as much data as exists, so that when you enter your thoughts here, the computer will begin an around the clock search for other data that may help your thought grow.  So we ask that you share as many forms of thoughts here as possible and we will find a way to display them, send video, images, poetry, studies and we will get them circulated.
 
Please feel free to contact me at anytime with any thoughts on building this project out, this project needs an army of help to achieve it's goals.  Thanks.

The most interesting aspects of life are emergent, so it seems to me. The emergence of self replicating organisms from the correct pattern of lifeless molecules, the emergence of consciousness from the large collection of neural cells and discrete neural firings, the emergence of poetry and music from that emergent space. Large collections of things are different, and exhibit behaviors one would not necessarily intuit from only a knowledge of the individual component.

Large collections of thought may act the same, and some hold that this is what turned us back from our insane nuclear arms race, many of us globally thinking, speaking and acting :

"this is stupid".

Well, to me, exploiting the planet for the benefit of a tiny fraction of its population is stupid, and not doing something to reverse this trend is stupid. This project allows me a small chance to contribute my share in opposing the tsunami of advertising, rhetoric, politics and corporate hegemony designed to promote and justify our current destructive lifestyle which enables the greed and power lust of a few. So I am flapping my butterfly wing here, in the hope that it rains peace somewhere else on the planet.

and coding this brain is going to be a very cool ride.......

Peace,
Thom

I offer my full effort to better the planet by helping to conceptualize and design interfaces which allow kids to learn more quickly and at an earlier age. Computers will be a major force in these endeavors for they offer interactivity thru multimedia components which are both entertaining and educational.
